Hello Andre:
I have several hundred folders and subfolders in my InBox.  Just A to D takes 
more than 100.  Just sorting the e-mail from clients and vendors once read is a 
task.  Same for sorting the Sent messages folder.  I could remove probably half 
of these from current use of I could archive each folder separately.
It is not a matter of fixed disk space.  I run 480 GB SSDs in each of my PCs, 
with roughly one-half of each SSD set for Ubuntu and the other half for 
Windows.  Have software installed so I can read and write across the Windows 
and Ubuntu partitions.

So the request to "archive" some data is driven by limited disk space
and implies that the archive is located on some separate file system?
(Still trying to understand which actual underlying problem people
would like to solve by "archiving" data in an application.)
